I spent some time last evening, and into the wee hours of this morning, in Mr. Picard’s Fourth Ward. I purposely went there to see what the “word on the street” and in the popular gathering places was concerning this apparent problem we have with the encroachment of gas lines into sanitary sewer lines. What I found out was frightening. First, a little background: I do not have a copy of the International Property Maintenance Code, but if memory serves (always a risky proposition in my case) it incorporates by reference a number of standards which are common in the construction world. I would be amazed if, by reference or otherwise, a separation of at least 18” was not mandated for natural gas lines crossing sanitary sewer lines, and an even greater separation for such lines running parallel to one another. (As an aside, there are similar requirement for the separation of sewer lines and potable water lines, but that is a discussion for another day.) Failing to abide by such mandates, is not just “naughty”. Such violations are not to be compared to, say, an individual innocently placing a shed a foot or two too close to a lot line, or perhaps accidentally parking a car too long in front of his home. These code violation are actually dangerous to life, limb and property and may be completely hidden not only to the current owners or residents of properties, but also to innocent passers-by and future residents. Even worse, the “word on the street” is that:
So, what about it, Mr. Picard??? I post here over my real name, and you DO know who I am, so I ask:

Master Plan Steering Committee meets 2nite @ 6pm 4th floor of the city building.
Meetings r open 2 the public, though as listeners only.
2nite's topic is economic development, with group facilitator Mr.Kohler and ED director Mr.Robinette scheduled to attend and speak.
hope that the gas lines there(and under our homes/businesses) are not in violation, and more importantly, damgerous.
Mr.P--I emailed the Council Mr.P concerning the Supthin St.mess. He was very thorough and polite in his multiple responses, which is far more than I have recieved from most past and current Councilmembers.
Credit to him for taking time from his real life schedule.

Interesting video Pacman thanks for posting.
I get the feeling the energy companies don't really give a rats petuty just as long as the pipe gets laid. If it gets laid with minimal cost then thats the route to go no doubt. If a house explodes in 20 years hey it wasn't our fault must have been another crew that did that.
